hwy 129/11 to Vogel state park GA
I will be driving my 2015 Georgetown 270s in the mountains for the first time. I will be coming from Florida and will be taking 129/11 to get to Vogel. Is anyone familiar with this road. Is it narrow....

Altho I already gave an answer,let me answer your question as well.
Coming from the south and heading north the road is 2 lane,not so narrow but no real shoulder for pulling off either.You may find a few turn in spots.The road is steep with lots of switchbacks.Now when you get to the top of Blood Mountain ( that's what it's called ) and start down the other side of which VSP is about 3/4 of the way down,you will have steep roads with switchbacks and even a truck run off ramp if that clues you in.Prior to this you may see off to the right way down there a few old cars and trucks that went off the side and were just to much trouble to bring up years ago.
My ex wife was a park enforcement ranger there for several years and we were both Sheriffs Deputies in that County.
Not trying to scare you off,just trying to help you out.If it is your first time,please go the route myself and Ivylog and LadyRVER already suggested,you'll be glad you did.Have a great time at Vogel,it's beautiful there.
